Not sure if you are talking about the rose bubble tip anemone's or the monticap at the center of the tank. Anemone's are at the top right of the tank

It's a lawnmower bleny, very curious fish. Always looking and being nosy. You can always catch him looking at you from some weird spot. Adds a very interesting personality to the tank. They are able to change from a light color to that very dark color. Thank you.

@@Simple_Reef it's love and hate with this guy. Lol. He always puts sand on my corals in the sandbed.

@@DOTReef ..ha ha goby like the sand! I have a Mediterranean goby and it made a nest in 1/3 of the bottom! ..it digs all day!

​@@Simple_Reef yes. I enjoy the landscape changes daily.😂

@@DOTReef ..the kind i have bears little resemblance to the tropical you have. ..yours is of course much more beautiful! It has some color too! Mine looks more like a lizard! 😊

@@Simple_Reef I believe every fish or coral adds a splash to the tank and hobby. I'm sure I would love that guy.

Looks like it's gone for now. Will continue adding only polyplab medic for the time being, this way I can keep skimmer on, this will continue a few days until I'm sure there is no more. If you don't take this step, the ick might attach to the fish again. Obviously we want it completely gone.

@@DOTReef ..what caused the ick? Did you do something that stressed the fish? Or do you have an aggressive fish?

​@@Simple_Reefnothing to stress fish, in one of the videos I stated I believe it came in on a rock that a new chilly coral was attached to. Ick can fall off fish and attach to other substances before it finds a new fish to attach to. Since this was the only thing I've changed I believe it's the only way it got into my tank.

Just posted a short showing how fish look at the time.

Thank you for watching. Appreciate the feedback. Will post more as I see if any information can help anyone.

Awesome thank you. I will

Thank you , worked hard on making it out of concrete myself and went through a big curing process to make it reef safe. Glad someone else also likes it. Thanks again

Thanks for watching. Will try to post as I see fit

To be honest I've never tested my TDS, I live in Los Angeles not sure if that provides any help. The only thing I do to treat my tap water is (safe) from SEACHEM. my ATO is filled with tap water, I add the safe base on instructions, and since my ATO is also taking care of my Alkalinity, I add soda ash in there as well. Does the trick forme.

Thank you, feel free to ask questions.

Works great. Depending on water volume you calcium might end up higher or lower. In my small 20 gallon, I cut the sea lab 28 block in half, keeps the calcium lower. I've ran it this way for over two years now with no I'll effects. Best of luck. Happy reefing

thank you, yes I know took me a while to test what corals do good on tap water, I'm currently testing acropora in the tank, have success with some but not with others. no never tested tds. all I do is treat the ato with safe.

I immediately removed my hands from the tank as soon as I realized my mistake and ran carbon. Yes I'm lucky.

Lol. Yes actually a few lfs around my area. Different lfs have different corals. Thank you. Sometimes it's hard not to buy any more corals.

Thank you. Appreciate it. I believe it is a type of hologram, but not sure exactly which one. It does stand out because of the color difference.

Thank you. This is a 100 gallon tank. You can definitely get there. As long as you learn from all complications, research, research and do more research. Aside from that reefing can be expensive but one coral at a time will soon fill a tank.

@@DOTReef I have a 40 gallon breeder at the moment with 6 Fish and a lot of dry rock it's been running for 2 months now

​@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 nice. As long as you don't have ammonia and nitrites, you should be fine to start adding corals. Just make sure you get into the habit of testing for dkh, calcium, and magnesium. Once you get those tests down you should be good to go for lots of the nice corals. But like I said before, research lots on corals before buying. If you ever need help with guidance I would be happy to help.

@@DOTReef Thanks, I will be honest and say I never test my water I usually let the fish be a guidance of letting me know if something is off in my tank , I am also dosing stability and quick start for when I add anything new to the tank or small water changes every two weeks or so , I know I should get in the habit of testing for my own good , I'll get my water tested at the local fish store as needed, How many fish would you recommend for a 40 gallon breeder? The biggest fish in my tank is a 4 inch coral beauty and a 3 inch Nemo clown fish , I will name the fish I have currently and the fish I want to add which is no more then 2 or 3 because I know overstocking/ bioload equals disaster 1. Coral beauty 2. Nemo clown fish 3. Midas blenny 4. Blue and yellow demsel 3inch 5. Dragonett 6. Blood red shrimp Fish I would wanna add 1. Flame Angel 2. Fairy wrasse 3. Fire fish Basically fish that won't outgrow a 40 gallon breeder, I spent a lot of money on equipment for it , I run two hang on back filters rated for 75 gallons and two wave makers , Fish feeder and plenty of dry rock

I will keep it under 1/2" of full grow fish per gallon. If you add more fish just try not to add too many at once as you can create more bioload than the tank can keep under control. Slow and steady is always a good way to go

Thank you. Sometimes I want more color variety. But overall I think it's a good looking tank myself. Thanks for your comment appreciate it.

@alexortega9645 currently in Los Angeles. But to be honest I have never tested water other than for dkh. DKH from my tap is at 7.2

@@DOTReef i live in Hawthorne! And i have a tap water FOWLR tank

​@@alexortega9645nice, we're pretty close to eat other I live in the city of Huntington Park. If you choose to add corals to your tank just pls treat with "Safe" that or prime. I prefer Safe. You can definitely have a decent tank with tap water if you have the right information. If you ever get into adding corals I'm here for any guidance. Thanks for checking out my videos. Pls like, comment and share to help others that want to get into the hobby. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello @coral-reef. Frozen foods are all made of fishes natural diet in the wild. Brine shrimp, my sis shrimp, copepods, rotifers ECT.

Hello again, I have an automatic fish feeder that feeds the reef aquarium 4 times a day, along with a full sheet of nori seaweed, frozen is fed 4 times a week also.

I never checked TDS for my tap water. Will need to buy a TDS meter to check where mine sits.

Thanks for the support. Appreciate it. Helps me to continue making more videos and shorts if people are interested.

Never tested my tap water. But who knows yours might be better than mine. I took a chance, started adding corals slowly and saw good results.

@@DOTReef no my tds in my water is over 100. Not good for corals. I'm surprised your not getting algae as well

I have some crabs and snails for that. And this tank is only 3 months old. I should have crazy algae but I don't have that. Just regular turf algae on rocks. Good food for my snails and crabs. I bet if I test my tds it should be around that number also. I do run a refugium so that helps.

I would personally mix in a 5 or 10 gallon bucket with a cheap pump you can get anywhere even offer up used. Once mixed throw into the tank. I suppose if you don't have anything in your current tank you can get away with having good flow to mix it up. In that case wait for water to be clear and test salinity with a refractometer. Or what ever you got I used the cheap floating ones when I first started. You have to let the tank cycle so your salt mix will definitely be dissolved before adding anything into your tank. Best of luck. On your saltwater journey.

Make sure you treat your tap water with Safe preferably, you can use prime, but I have had better results using Safe powder.

Thank you

I do not run a UV sterilizer.

That’s the cheapest part of the hobby

Sorry never tested any of those levels of my tap water to be honest. I do live in Los Angeles although not sure if it matters. This 100 gallon tank is 3 months old . I started with that smaller one towards the end of the video. That one is 2 years old. I learned lots in those years and am confident everything I did on that 20 gallon reef works perfectly fine for me.

Thank you. Wasn't doing so well so started adding sponge power. Doing better now

Yes, looks like they have stopped for now.

Tank you. Appreciate it

Hydra 26 older models and one AI prime 16 hd

will need to test but don't normally test. I will test and get back to you.

look to hear @@DOTReef

I tested phosphate today 3 hrs after feeding, phosphate sit at 0.25 ppm

Nitrates are 15ppm 3 hrs after feeding as well .

@@DOTReef do you run a skimmer?
